Chapter 585 - Truth Becomes Fiction When the Fictions True! (1/2)
Shao Wanru was tired after picking for a short time. Her feet were not well and she couldn’t squat for a long time. Yujie helped her to a pavilion to rest against the fence. She went around the pavilion to pick up maple leaves for Shao Wanru.
The maple forest was very big. They walked all the way forward and almost couldn’t meet anyone. But when they stopped, they saw crowds of people coming in. The Yuhui Nunnery was very popular, and it was the start for this maple forest open to people. In addition, this was the best time to enjoy the autumn scenery.
Most of them were women, and some came here with their sisters and elders. Seeing that Shao Wanru was the only one in the pavilion, no man came in rudely, but when they passed by, they all looked at the pavilion secretly. Even if the woman in the pavilion was leaning by side with a veil, she was very attractive.
Two nuns rushed in.
One was Huiding Nun, who followed Mingqiu Nun, and the other was Huikong, a disciple of a supervisor around the master of the Yuhui Nunnery. Unexpectedly, Huiding Nun brought her here, which was a surprise.
As the disciple of the master of Yuhui Nunnery, Huikong was a smart and capable person, and she was also very sharp-eyed. Because she knew that Mingqiu Nun was treating the disease for Prince Chen, Huikong got very close to Mingqiu Nun’s people. In the past, she was also very kind to Mingqiu Nun’s people. This time, she should be at Mingqiu Nun’s place!
“Fifth Miss, have you hurt your feet?” When Huiding Nun saw Shao Wanru in the pavilion, she took a few steps forward quickly and bowed to her.
Yujie, who was picking up maple leaves, saw them and hurried back to stand behind Shao Wanru.
“Our Miss sprained her feet. I’ve treated them for her and bandaged them, but I don’t know whether I did the right thing or not!” Yujie said.
“Fifth Miss, can I have a look at your feet?” Huiding Nun asked.
Shao Wanru looked around uneasily. Although this pavilion was on the side of the road, if someone passed by, they would definitely see the people in the pavilion.
“Fifth Miss, your feet got hurt. If we don’t look at them earlier, I’m afraid something serious will happen. Senior Sister Huiding studied medicine with Mingqiu Nun. After she has seen it, you can rest assured. It’s easy to get into big trouble if you do not want to be treated by doctors. Although someone may come here, your servant girl and I would cover for you. No one will see them.”
Huikong Nun was a clever person. When she saw Shao Wanru’s expression, she knew what Shao Wanru was worried about, so she quickly smiled and said.
Since she said so, Shao Wanru would not refuse. She nodded at once. Huikong Nun and Yujie blocked in front of her feet. Huiding Nun squatted down half. She lifted Shao Wanru’s feet, took off her shoes, and untied the circle of white cloth wrapped around them.
In order to ease Shao Wanru’s nervousness, Huiding Nun asked as she untied the bandage, “Fifth Miss, where did you get the bandage? It doesn’t look like a specialized bandage!”
At a glance, one could tell that the white cloth was torn off from somewhere, which was very improper.
“It’s from my clothes. I was going to wrap for Miss just now. There was no cloth, so I pulled my clothes.” Yujie reached out and slightly lifted her skirt, which made people see that there was indeed a missing part of her skirt.
Huiding Nun and Huikong Nun just glanced at them casually. They asked in order to eliminate Shao Wanru’s nervousness, so no one took it seriously.
The long cloth was untied. Seeing her swollen feet, even Huikong Nun felt very painful. Originally, she thought that this kind of delicate Miss just twisted a little bit, but nothing big happened. She didn’t expect that she twisted so hard that her ankle was swollen like a steamed bun.
Huiding Nun reached out and gently pinched Shao Wanru’s feet. While pinching her feet, she asked her if she was in pain. Sometimes, she even increased her strength.
Shao Wanru’s forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat while she was pinched.
“Fifth Miss, your servant girl is good. She has put your bones right. But you have to rest more in the future. I’m afraid that you will have to lie in bed for a period of time. Otherwise, your muscles and bones may really be hurt!” Huiding Nun comforted Shao Wanru in a soft voice. Shao Wanru’s feet were already covered with ointment. When she used her fingers to press the ointment, some left on her fingers.
Huiding Nun sniffed it and then nodded again. “This ointment is very good. It’s from the palace, isn’t it?”
“It’s from the palace! First Miss gave it to our Miss before!” Yujie explained.
With the status of Duke Xing’s Mansion, there was naturally this kind of ointment from the palace.
“Very good. Then I won’t give Fifth Miss any other ointment. You can just use it. You need to use it twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. Then you should lie in bed and rest. You can’t walk anymore. At least…” After thinking for a while, Huiding Nun added some more days, “At least a few days of rest is needed before you can fully recover.”
“Yes, Fifth Miss, you should have a good rest.” Huikong Nun also nodded repeatedly. The injury was really serious. Although her bones were not hurt, with the delicate body of a Miss from an aristocratic family, Huikong Nun felt that if she did not have a good rest for a while, she would not be able to recover. If it were her to say, she might say that Fifth Miss would have to rest for a few months.
“Thank you!” Shao Wanru thanked them.
Huiding Nun helped her wrap up the bandage again, bound it, and put on her shoes. Fortunately, most of the swollen parts were on her ankles. Although her ankle was a little swollen, it didn’t prevent her from putting on her shoes. However, when Huiding Nun put on her shoes, she did not put them on well.
Huiding Nun stood up, took the handkerchief from Yujie, and said to her, “Fifth Miss, you’d better not put all your shoes on. This will squeeze the injured place. Just go this way first. If it’s not convenient, you can just walk slowly!”
